Hopefully Lo Celso didn’t get injured at the end. Really liked the trio with him, Lamela and Eriksen

Also Tanganga what a beast, I’ve known this for more than 2 years but nice to see him to it at pro level

I think hes had some good game and some poor games, but definitely very weak at low shots.

Yeah he's not the best in the world, but I think he's better than Vorm ever was for us, and people talk about Lloris as if he isn't exactly the same. I watch games like this and see shots which Lloris would save but PG doesn't, and ones that PG does and you just know Lloris would have flapped at it. I'm sure we'll be reminded of it soon enough.

I'm not bothered about the fact that we need a better goalkeeper, but I'm vexed at the suggestion that Hugo is going to be any different.

Grateful Japhet said said he was, I wish a few of the others would take a leaf out of his book and show a bit of gratefulness.

Also enjoyed him saying ‘Spurs are rocking’ and then ‘Spurs have stepped it up a gear’ within literally a minute of each other.

Neither statements were remotely true.

As bad as Jermaine Jenas saying that they should hold their chests high!

Thought we were powder puff 2nd half, those d*ck brains up front made us look so poor at times & any highballs into our box have us under pressure.

Dele looked crap. How he did not square that at the end I do not know. His form is very, very, very bad!

He got himself into good scoring positions two times in a short amount of time. He bungled both chances, but come on - he did well in the short time he got.

Subbing a DM for an attacking player to hold on to a lead says all we need to know at what JM thinks of Dier

Insane how wasteful we were today. should at least have had 4 before they scored and could definitely had a few more as well.

Nice to see that we still are capable of playing some nice football even though against mediocre opposition.
We’ve been wasteful for years...just don’t understand it!

Gazzaniga is so bad its actually funny. Not really a surprise our back 4 looks far worse than in prior seasons when this guys been our keeper for 3 months. Come back soon Hugo
As a number 2 he is fine and he does some things very well but he just is not an elite keeper. His positioning is suspect and a number of goals can be attributed to him.

I thought we deserved to get a bit of a jolt there, slacked off way too early and at any level it is asking for trouble. I can get if Jose thinks Dier, Lamela, Lo Celso etc. needed 90 minutes of football, but the reality was that you could have subbed any and all of them 10-15 mins before one of them got the chop as they'd completely run out of steam. I'd have liked to see say Skipp on as an injection of a bit of hunger and keenness to impress as our performance levels tailed off.

Got the job done, should have been much more emphatic but on to the next round....

If i was manager Id get Eriksen in the gym and maybe boxing lessons or MMA, he needs to toughen up, a bit too late now though.

Until 89 minutes Gazza had been very good. Their goal was as much down to our defender backing off and not closing down their forward as Gazza’s pathetic dive.
